Cryptocoryne wendtii Red

$2.35

C wendtii is the easiest of the Cryptocorynes to grow. They prefer lower light levels and a rich substrate. Softer waters do them very well, but this is by no means a necessity. They can also be grown emmersed (above the water) but MUST be kept in a very WET and HUMID bog situation. They reproduce (when happy) by making small plantlets on the sides of the "mother" plant. After a while, the original plant ends up being a large clump of Cryptocorynes. This is the Red version. It has a deep rich maroon green top and underleaf as well as stems.
